Never Say Never: Ian Poulter Discusses Possible Ryder Cup Return
Former Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter hasn't ruled out a potential return to the prestigious team competition, stating "never say never" in an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya.
With recent developments including Donald Trump's meeting with PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan regarding potential Saudi PIF investment, Poulter acknowledged that while it's currently not an option, the golf landscape changes quickly.
"As it stands today that isn't an option for me, but things change quite quickly like we've seen in the golf landscape, so let's see how things play out, you never know," Poulter said.

The LIV Golf player also revealed plans to launch his own digital channel, following in the footsteps of Bryson DeChambeau's successful YouTube presence. This move aligns with both LIV Golf and PGA Tour's efforts to attract younger audiences through social media.

Speaking about LIV Golf's night golf innovation in Riyadh, Poulter praised the format while acknowledging its challenges: "It's brilliant. I think for us to showcase live golf and do it in a slightly different way and make it a bit more fun, you'll see that over the coverage."
The tournament's unique floodlit setup presents new challenges for players, including adjusting to shadows and different visual perspectives, but Poulter sees it as a positive development for the sport's evolution.
